Project description:

The Early Music festival will take the modern audience back into Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque musical atmospheres. The concerts of the festival will bring listeners to the churches and concert halls in the Old Town of Riga, but its central feature will be the program in the exquisite Baroque castle of Rundāle. This festival brings numerous early music from Europe and other continents to Latvia every year. Particular attention will be paid to composers who have lived and worked in historic Riga.
